Anterior Encephalocele and Its Association with MTHFR Polymorphisms: A Case-Control Study

Abstract: Background Neural tube defects (NTDs) are thought to be associated with genetic defects and environmental factors. This study aims to determine the association of MTHFR gene polymorphisms and maternal body mass index (BMI) with anterior encephalocele (AE). Methods Blood samples of 20 patients (out of 41 children) were available for genetic analysis. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples using Wizard genomic DNA purification kit. The MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms genotyping proto… Show more

“…Literature research indicated tendency of MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase) polimorphisms, which are MTHFR A1298C and C677T. [8][9][10] Data from study conducted in Institut Pertanian Bogor in 2017 revealed that 88.3% pregnant women in Indonesia was classified as folic acid deficiency state. 11 In this case, even if folic acid supplementation was inadequate during pregnancy, maternal folic acid serum level reveals normal results of 24.2 ng/mL.…”
